Interconnects For Electronic Circuits

HDI PCBs High Density Interconnects

The HDI design team is supported by a team of electrical simulation specialists who ensures that the design overcomes all critical signal issues to function effectively.

We have long - term relationship with a selected group of PCB fab and assembly houses to support the prototype and volume requirements. In addition to fab and assembly, our specialized PCB layout skills in RF and mixed signal board designing combined with signal integrity and thermal analysis add value to customers looking for one-stop solutions for their PCB design requirements. We take the total accountability for the complete board development cycle from schematic development to delivering the tested assembled boards (PCA - Printed Circuit Assembly) with the required approvals and certifications. Our specialty is in the handling tight constrained high complex circuit boards for military applications, avionics, and processor mother boards.

ATE PCBs Services

CIS provides exclusive design and routing support services to ATE test interface board vendors. Our designers closely interact with your engineers and strictly follow your design and DFM specs to accelerate designing of high yield ATE boards. Thus we can remain a true design partner and function as an offshore extension of your design team.

Our team is having vast experience in working for all major test board vendors and ATE IC test system vendors. We have long experience in designing boards for versatile ATE templates under different EDA design tools and able to provide high yield design solution. With proven design and signal routing process developed and adopted by the experienced professionals ensures right design delivered at first pass on schedule. ATE board designed by our team are subjected to electrical analysis to avoid signal integrity issues. Signal routing of ATE boards are done manually considering PCB stack-up, distance to reference plane and power to ground configurations to minimize crosstalk and distortion. We design boards of less inductance with higher signal strength.

Interface Board Design

Our team has extensive experience in designing probecards for various applications and offering services to many leading probecard vendors around the world. We get repeat business requests due to our capability to deliver quality designs on schedule irrespective of complexity.

Probecard designs of high pin count and densities are more than routing intensive work and routing of signal and ground traces takes morethan 50 percent of total design time. Also the traces needs to be equally spaced all over the spider area to achieve board planarity and the lengths should be matched to zero tolerance for greater performance. It needs more manpower to complete design in short duration. CIS interconnects Private Limited has the skill to overcome challenges involved in designing a probecard in a short duration by extending the capability of the EDA tools through its customization capability. Our in-house software team developed intelligent software tools and utilities to help the designers to achieve fast turn around in each design process. The whole design process is tool driven and we constantly innovate new tools to help manual routing. Our in-house software team developed numerous software tools to help the designers to achieve fast turn around. Our team can route 2000 traces in a day, thus we are able to meet timelines specified by the customer.
